THE PERFECT BOOK STUDY When you hear the Gospel story from Matthew where he says, “You, therefore, must be PERFECT as your heavenly Father is PERFECT” do you sit there and go, “Yah! Right!” or “Who me?” I think most of us have that reaction and yet, in his book, “Perfectly Yourself” by Matthew Kelly, which we were blessed to receive copies of at Christmas, Matthew Kelly offers us the tools to do just that. This Lent you can join us for weekly discussions of the book “Perfectly Yourself” and be encouraged and encourage others to become a more perfect version of yourself in just 9 weeks. The classes will be offered on Monday nights from 7-8:30 p.m. starting Monday, Feb. 12 to Monday, April 16 (no class during Holy Week) or Thursday mornings 10-11:30 a.m. starting Thursday Feb. 15 to Thursday, April 19 (no class during Holy Week). If you can’t join us for the book study you can still do it at home. You can sign up at DynamicCatholic.com/LentSignUp. Every day you’ll receive a short inspirational video from Matthew Kelly and the Dynamic Catholic that will enrich your journey through the book and give you a life-changing Lent. If you wish to join the book study, please contact Maureen Redmer at (262) 249-0424 or [email protected] or Geri Braun at (262) 249-9590 or [email protected] to sign up. If you are unable to attend all the classes you are still welcome to join us when you can, but please sign up.
